Subscriptions to Mission NotificationsChanges coming -
On March 15th of this year, we went to a new subscription based mission notification system.
In spite of extensive early testing; several weeks into using the system, we found that not all mission notices
were going out to all subscribers. In addition, many members found the subscription system difficult to navigate.

We will shortly be implementing a new, more robust system that we hope members will find easier to use and more reliable.
In the interim, we have gone back to using the the manual system, sending notifications to all members based on state.
To avoid receiving duplicate messages, we recommend members unsubscribe to the mission forums, and rely on the manual system until
the new system is in place.

To unsubscribe from state forums, follow this link, and click on all the black circles to remove your subscription.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to: "The United States of America" for any amount, up to and including my life".
